Hover¶

Widget description¶
A Hover object will hover over its parent
object at the target
location.
Anything in the background will be given a darker coloring to indicate that the hover object is on top (at the default theme). When the hover is clicked it is dismissed(hidden), if the contents of the hover are clicked that doesn’t cause the hover to be dismissed.
A Hover object has two parents. One parent that owns it during creation and the other parent being the one over which the hover object spans.
Available styles¶

All directions may have contents at the same time, except for “smart”.
This is a special placement hint and its use case depends of the
calculations coming from best_content_location_get()
. Its use
is for cases when one desires only one hover content, but with a dynamic
special placement within the hover area. The content’s geometry,
whenever it changes, will be used to decide on a best location, not
extrapolating the hover’s parent object view to show it in (still being
the hover’s target determinant of its medium part – move and resize it
to simulate finger sizes, for example). If one of the directions other
than “smart” are used, a previously content set using it will be
deleted, and vice-versa.
Note
The hover object will take up the entire space of target
object.
Note
The content parts listed indicate the direction that the content will be displayed
